Chiropractic Advice for Optimal Joint Health

By Brandi Goodman 

Keeping your joints healthy should be a top priority. After all, without properly functioning joints the body would not be able to move and function as intended. Weakened joints can lead to immobility and chronic pain. Chiropractic advice can help you ensure you're maintaining optimal joint health that will boost overall health as well. 

Exercise Regularly

"Use it or lose it" is a common saying that applies well to joint health. If you're not using your joints and muscles you are likely to lose them. Getting regular exercise and working out all areas of the body is the best way to ensure your joints are staying in use and remaining strong. If you already have any weak joints that are hurt when you attempt to exercise, try swimming. It is far easier on the body. 

Eat Healthy

A healthy diet can also help your joints. Some foods are especially beneficial for joint health because they reduce inflammation and pain. Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish are ideal. Soybeans, extra virgin olive oil, cherries, broccoli, oranges, grapefruits, and whole grains should be on the menu as well. You should also be consuming low-fat dairy products that provide Vitamin D and calcium that can help to strengthen the bones. 

Use Preventive Methods

Certain preventive methods can help to keep the joints strong and free from injury. Maintaining proper posture is one example. You always want to sit up straight and avoid slouching. It is also wise to follow proper lifting techniques. You can cause stress to the joints if you're attempting to lift heavy objects without consideration of the muscles you're using. Do not bend at the waist or use the back to lift. Instead, squat down and use the strength of the legs to do the heavy lifting. 

Get Routine Chiropractic Care

Joint restrictions, also known as subluxations, can largely interfere with the body's central nervous system. These restrictions may block signals between the body and brain that allows bodily systems to function correctly. Routine visits to the chiropractor can ensure any restrictions are adjusted so they do not interfere with other processes. 

Stop in at The Joint Chiropractic for your first visit and help your joint health improve. Through proper care and regular chiropractic adjustments, you can keep your joints healthy and working at optimal efficiency.
